The Waiting Station was created to shelter patrons from inclement weather. It also created a grand entrance area to the park. This image features a summer open-air trolley, number 95. Notice the man standing by the flowerbed in the center; possibly he is the groundkeeper Mr. Bonz or perhaps Park Manager L.D. Mathes. Who knows? Under magnification it is possible to see little bridges that divert visitors to the left and right after arriving at the park. Also, you can see a building off to the right of the Waiting Station situated on the hill. Possibly these are the restrooms. This item was postally used in 1910.
